IMPRESSIONISM

The curtain rises, and the performance begins with the first rays of sunlight. Light is not only a source of life and energy—it is also the raw material for both photographers and Impressionist painters. This group of artists captured light as no one had before, infusing each canvas with vibrant energy and color. From a distance, their seemingly chaotic brushstrokes come together to form cohesive, radiant scenes. They broke free from the constraints of academic tradition, ushering in a new way of seeing and understanding painting.

They worked outdoors, exposed to the changing weather—just like nature photographers. Because the light could shift at any moment, they painted quickly, using rapid, short brushstrokes to keep pace with the fleeting conditions.

Seeking inspiration in their paintings—or simply allowing oneself to be guided by their vision—can feel almost dreamlike; a reverie that begins and ends with the same sunlight that marks the rise and fall of the curtain.
